Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling itchy in my private area, and it even got scratched open, which is very painful and uncomfortable. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and they said I have leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm really struggling with this. If my mother also has leukoplakia of the vulva, what is the best way to treat this condition?Doctor's answer:
Hello, vulvar white lesions, also known as chronic vulvar dystrophy, refer to a group of diseases caused by nutritional disorders of the vulvar skin and mucosa, leading to tissue degeneration and changes in pigmentation. Generally, it is divided into two types: fibrotic dystrophy and lichen sclerosus dystrophy. In severe cases, the clitoris and labia majora and minora may atrophy, and adhesions can be treated. The general treatment method involves a combination of medication and physical therapy, which yields relatively ideal results. Wishing you good health.The recurrence of vulvar leukoplakia severely threatens women's health. Patients need to pay attention to follow-up examinations after menstruation in daily life, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy foods. It is hoped that female patients can receive professional treatment.
